Maximum Hard Disc Size for Win 98SE?

I have just installed a 200Gig WD hard drive but when I try to run scandisk or defrag it comes up with insufficient memory to run the programs. Does anyone know if there is a limit to the hard drive size under Win98. Many thanks.

Re: Maximum Hard Disc Size for Win 98SE?

There is a 127 GB limit in the OS. You can\'t
use any of the tools in Windows for your 200 GB
hard drive.

You need to both of the following:
1. Install the IDE card that comes with the
hard drive and use the IDE port on the card.
2. Use the tool that comes with the hard drive
to format and partition the hard drive.
